Dirk Koetter thanks fans for support and shares a message with Bucs Nation

Despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2017 struggles which included a brutal 5-11 finish to the season, coach Dirk Koetter couldn’t be any more thrilled that fans stuck around and supported his team although they weren’t able to live up to the “Hard Knocks” hype and very high offseason expectations.

On the Buccaneers Radio Network before the season ended, Koetter took some time to thank fans with a heartfelt message. In his message, he also reminded fans that no one is more disappointing in the outcome more than himself.

When asked what his message to fans was, Koetter had the following to say:

“I just think maybe the thing would be that I really appreciate how passionate fans are for their teams,” Koetter said. “And, you know, I really appreciate how passionate the Bucs fans are. I think sometimes fans don’t realize for as much as they care if we win or lose, multiply that by 10 million, and that’s how much a coach cares about it.”

Koetter added that he’s thankful for the opportunity to return to Tampa Bay and hopes to make a much-needed come back this year by leading the Bucs to a trip to the playoffs.
